Method
- Step 1
Put the bulgur in a bowl with a pinch of salt, pour over 200ml boiling water, cover and leave 15 minutes; fork through.
- Step 2
Rub the turkey with the oil, cumin, salt and pepper. Griddle or fry over a high heat 4-5 minutes each side until cooked through; rest 5 minutes, then slice.
- Step 3
Toast the pumpkin seeds in a dry pan 2-3 minutes until they pop; tip out.
- Step 4
Whisk the yogurt, tahini, half the lemon juice and 1 tbsp water into a loose dressing; season.
- Step 5
Toss the warm bulgur with the spinach, cherries, spring onions, parsley and the rest of the lemon juice so the leaves just wilt.
- Step 6
Divide between two bowls, top with the sliced turkey and pumpkin seeds, and spoon the tahini yogurt over.
